PROJECTOR.

'aaoosa To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ROBERT 'DoBBs, a citizen of the United States, residing at New.- kirk, in the county of Kay, State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Projectors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in games, and particularly to indoor foot-ball games.

One object of the present invention is to provide a simple and novel device of this character, on which the game of football can be played according to the regular rules of the field game.-

Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel and simple, as well as efiicient device for propelling the bell along the field in opposition to a number of pieces lined up like a team, and representing the players of the'other side.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accom- Fig. 2 is an ed e view of the game board, 1

a portion being roken away to show the ball projector in elevation.

. Fig. 3 is an enlarged front elevation of the projector. r

Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional 718W on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2 enlarged.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing 10 represents the board, which is divided into transverse parallel spaces similar to the yard lines of a foot-ball field. A vertical flange or fence 11 extends com pletely around the edge of the board to prevent the game pieces from fallmgfrom the board. On the board are arranged to be placed eleven disks 12 representing the play- .up of the players of the other side, by a.

device which will now be described.

7 mass of disks.

the U resting on the board. To prevent the marring or scratching of the surface of the board, by the said arms, there are secured to said arms the rubber buttons or knobs 16. Extending transversely through the upper portions of the arms of the U, there is a shaft 17, on which is pivotally mounted a depending arm 18, to the lower end of which is secured a rubber cushion 19. Connectedto the lower ends of the arms of the U are the ends of a rubber band 20, the intermediate portion being passed through an opening 21 in the lower'end of the arm 18. On one side of the lower end ofrthe arm 18 there is formed a rearwardly projecting knob 22, which serves as a handle to be grasped when pulling the arm18 backwardly against the tension of the rubber band. This arm, when released, will be projected forwardly, land when so placed as to strike the ball, will project the same along the field of the board and into the From the foregoing it is thought that the manner of playing the game will be apparent andneed no detailed explanation.

Whatis claimed is:

A projecting device fora game piece including an inverted U-shaped member having a stem on the upper portion thereof, a transverse shaft mounted in and extending between the intermediate portions of the legs of said U-shaped member, rubber caps on the lower ends of said legs for engagement with the surface of the game-board, a deof the game board when swung, said arm having a transverse opening therethrough, and an' elastic band dlsposed through said opening and having its bight portions embracing the legs below the said shaft. p

In testimony whereof, I afiix my s1gnature, in the presence of two witnesses.
